First, open the Health app on your iPhone. If you don't have the Health app, you can download it from the App Store. In the Health app, tap "Browse" at the bottom of the screen, then tap "Sleep". Tap "Full Schedule & Options", followed by "Wind Down" or "Sleep Goal" under "Additional Details". Adjust your desired settings and tap "Wind Down" or "Sleep Goal" again to save your changes.

Turn off Sleep Focus
To turn off Sleep Focus on your Apple Watch, you must first press the Digital Crown to access the watch face. From there, press the side button to open the Control Center. Once you're in the Control Center, you can tap the Sleep Focus icon to turn it off.
Sleep Focus is a feature designed to help you establish a regular bedtime routine and get a better night's sleep. It is part of the Sleep app, which was introduced with watchOS 8. The Sleep app allows you to set up a sleep schedule and track your sleep. It also includes a Wind Down feature, which is a pre-sleep routine that helps you prepare for bedtime.
To turn off Sleep Focus, you can also go to the Health app on your iPhone. Tap Browse, then tap Sleep, and then tap Full Schedule & Options. From there, you can turn off your sleep schedule by tapping Sleep Schedule at the top of the screen. This will disable your sleep schedule and turn off Sleep Focus.
Additionally, if you want to turn off Sleep Mode, which is a feature that simplifies your Lock Screen and reduces distractions, you can do so manually in the Control Center. By default, Sleep Mode begins at the wind-down time you set in the Sleep app. However, if you prefer to control it manually, you can turn off the "Turn On at Wind Down" option.
It's important to note that the Sleep app is the only way to track sleep with your Apple Watch. While it can provide some data, such as your overnight heart rate and respiratory rate, it may not offer as much detailed information as a dedicated sleep-tracking device.
